Default Salamanders

Any recommendations for keeping the little lizards away?

They are anoles and you want them around. They are harmless to humans. You leave them alone and they will leave alone. They are beneficial because they eat insects like ants and roaches. If one gets in your lanai or house, get a butterfly net and enjoy the chase.

Some of these responses are gold.

But the others are correct. They take a little getting used to by us northerners, but let them eat the bugs.

They won't hurt you. They spend most of their times chasing others to have sex.

Occasionally one of them that has a British accent tries to sell you insurance.

Except they poop all over the place. When one or more sneaks into our lanai they leave a trail all over the white aluminum strips on the floor that the screens attache to. Gross.

This happened about six months ago while we were having lunch at Tierra Del Sol. First time ever for a pornographic lunch entertainment.
